Wagner’s chief of police is facing charges in his home county, alleging he drove carelessly while intoxicated, but city officials in Wagner won’t disclose if he’s facing disciplinary action.
53-year-old Tim Simonsen of Armour was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, careless driving, and a seat belt violation in Douglas County.
Court documents say that on January 22nd, Simonsen was stopped by Douglas County sheriff’s deputy Samantha Pulse just after 12:30 AM in rural Armour.
Simonsen has served as the chief of the Wagner Police Department since August 2012.
The Wagner City Council is expected to address the matter in executive session at its next meeting tonight.
Simonsen is due to appear in a Douglas County courtroom on March 15th for an initial appearance.
